NW Furniture Bank

Thank you to all who gave of their time, energy and resources to make Chair Affair 2015 a smashing success.

This year we raised $132,000. You are a vital part of what we're doing in Pierce and South King County. We are grateful to all who are part of helping us move toward our mission of restoring hope dignity and stability by recycling donated furniture to people in need.

Dozens of agencies work with the homeless, domestic violence victims and low-income population providing temporary housing and recovery programs, but when their clients complete the programs they may have new housing and a new focus for their life, but they often have no furniture. NW Furniture Bank meets these needs by providing furniture to those transitioning into their own homes. Furniture is also available for foster children who age-out of the program, and for people who lose all of their possessions in natural disasters such as fire or flood.

The NW Furniture Bank strives to give their clients a bed to sleep on, a sofa to sit on, and a table to eat from. Hundreds of volunteers are using their time, talents and donated furniture to restore hope, dignity and stability to families that are working hard to rebuild their lives. learn more >
